This book is based on over a dozen years teaching a Bayesian Statistics course. The material presented here has been used by students of different levels and disciplines, including advanced undergraduates studying Mathematics and Statistics and students in graduate programs in Statistics, Biostatistics, Engineering, Economics,...
Create your own LoRa wireless projects for non-industrial use and gain a strong basic understanding of the LoRa technology, LoRa WAN, and LPWAN.
You'll start by building your first LoRa wireless channel and then move on to various interesting projects such as setting up networks with a LoRa gateway,...
RFID technology has been available for decades, but it is only recently that its application has become a core topic for computing. This book introduces the technologies and techniques of large-scale RFID-enabled mobile computing systems, set in the context of specific case studies.
The book begins with a quick introduction to RFID basics and...
Our experience of theworld leads us to conclude that many events are unpredictable and sometimes quite unexpected. These may range from the outcome of seemingly simple games such as tossing a coin and trying to guess whether it will be heads or tails to the sudden collapse of governments or the dramatic fall in prices of shares on the stock market....
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are population-based, stochastic search algorithms that mimic natural evolution. Due to their ability to find excellent solutions for conventionally hard and dynamic problems within acceptable time, EAs have attracted interest from many researchers and practitioners in recent years. This book...
The book describes the principles behind an industrial approach to
software production. We claim that the technological basis of
industrial software production should be object orientation. A large
part of the book is devoted to explaining all the different things you
can do with objects; we will also match the different...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a part of the way we conduct
business in every industry. The fashion industry is no exception. From
product discovery to robotic manufacturing, AI has made its way into
almost every segment of the fashion value chain.
The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) was originally introduced by Atanassov (1983) to extend the concept of the traditional fuzzy set. Each element in an IFS is expressed by an ordered pair which is called an intuitionistic fuzzy value (IFV) (or intuitionistic fuzzy number (IFN)), and each IFV is characterized by a membership degree,...
The first book to address computer performance evaluation from the perspective of queueing theory and Markov chains.
Queueing Networks and Markov Chains provides comprehensive coverage of the theory and application of computer performance evaluation based on queueing networks and Markov chains. Progressing from basic concepts...
The development of the field of synthetic metal-containing polymers - where metal atoms form an integral part of the main chain or side group structure of a polymer - aims to create new materials which combine the processability of organic polymers with the physical or chemical characteristics associated with the metallic element or complex. This...
Logistic systems constitute one of the cornerstones in the design and control of production systems and the modelling of supply chains. They are key to a number of industries, and courses teaching logistics systems planning and control are becoming more widespread. Introduction to Logistics Systems Planning and Control is the first book to...
